'Richard Carrol Says Migration, to North a Mistake. To the Editor of The News and Courier: I was in Gwenwood S. C last Saturday night, having learned that a carload of colored people would migrate to Pennsylvania at that time. More than 2,000 colored people gath ered' at the depot at 8 o'clock to see the crowd go. I learned that every Saturday night this scene takes place in Greenwood. Dr. Dement, pastor of the white Baptist Church there, told me that seventy-five of the best Tnem bers from the colored Baptist Church had left. The colored people in Greenwood came from the country round about to see the crowd off. Hon. H. C. Tillman, son of Senator B. R. Tillman, told me that in the crowd were one or two of ; ne farm hands that had signed contracts to work next year, but that he would not in terfere with them. It was quite dif ferent from Georgia, ror in Georgia the negroes are intimidated in some sections. In Greenwood the white people offer no res:stance. I was burning with enthusiasm to get onto a car box and speak to the multi tudes that, gathered, but I refrained, because' some of the colored people have the idea that I am paid by white p2eople to speak against this migra tion movement. It is just the other -,ay, however. If I would anconrage it or go as I have been invited to spend the balance of my days in0hio or Pennsylvania, I would receive more money in one year than I would iget in - South - Carolina in five years. This is the country for the black man and the white people. of the South should offer the proper inducements and protection before the law to keep the colored people in the Southland. Dr. B. D. Gray, of Atlanta, addressed a large number of colored people in Newberry in a colored church last Tuesday evening. As he pleaded with the colored men to stay in the South among their white friends, Dr. Gray wept much. Dr. Gray is secretary of the Southern Baptis Home Mission Bpard and was rearea: in Mississippi.

Come in and ask aboul KTlI E PEOP OF MAl W. C. DAVIS, President. Among other things he saids "Stay anorty' your friends. We have not treited you right; we -are going to do better. Let us, white and colored, unite to, solve .the race problem- on Southern soil. Wo are. in debt to you colored people. First of all, we owe you the Gospel; then we owe you pro teetion before the law. There -will be ho more outrages when we take up this problem as we should and solve it -by the Gospel." Dr. Gray took occasion to commend the remarks of the Rev. J. J. Starks, president of Morris College, Sumter,- who had spoken to the white convention about his work at Sumter. It may be as many of our colored people say: God is in this movement. But I believe thnt if. the white; people of the South and the. colored peopre of the South had worked together for the last 60 years for the good of each race and at the same time each "race in its liaJce, we would have had better con ditiorn in the South-no lynchings, no cause for lynchings. If the best white people in the South had kept the' government in the hands of the Gen. Wade Hampton type, this would have been the greatest country on earth. Is it too late for us to begin the great work? Lec the best ele ment, and the law-abiding white citi zens handle their bad folks. I have in mind now three colored men who have accumulated mucn property in South Carolina--not in Abbeville County. One has 600 acres of land with debts all paid; 30 or 40 bales of cotton stored at his house. He has been ordered to leave under penalty of death. For three yearq these ne gro men have been intimidated and threatened. The wife of one of these men left my home a few days ago. Her husband wanted to know what to do. He - has committed nocrime. I know what I am talking about when I say that from information I have received from white men friendly to these men that they will have to get up and away, and all because they have accumulated land and are pros perous. While in Greenwood, four dif ferent colored men c.,me to me and asked what must they to. I told them not to go North, but try to get to some other white men in the county or in the community. I told them that there are plenty of white men in South Carolina that would give jus tice and protection. The trouble about the thing is that sonic of the best negroes are leaving. Sixty thou sand have left Florida, as many more Alabama and Georgia. I sent the .Rve. J. Bolivar Davis to Alabama to preach to the colored j;eople. Here is a letter from him that came yes terday: "I cannot get up a meeting. Everybody is restless here in Ala bama, and I am leaving Monday for Pennsylvania. I will pass through Columbia and will stop if you have anything to offer. The Northern fever 'is raging down this way." I would suggest that at the race con ference which meets aninually in Co lumbia, February 7-8, that some of the leading white and co;ored citizens from 4h'e different counties assemble inColumbia and look this problem squarely in tbd face.

SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS Social Consideration A Most Import ant Factor. EXPLANATION OF CLASS DIVI SION Much Harm Has Been Done by the Pretentions of Ambitious Climbers Who Seek to Elevate Themselves by Ridiculous Claims of Superiority Greenville Piedmont. I have an impression that the pre zeding chayter was not nn adequate liscussion of the subject I attempted to handle in it. I do not like to make two- bites at a cherry, but this seems to be a case where it ought to be (lone. Far more than those who have not studied the subject realize, class feel ing created the bitterness of the early days of the Tillman movement and xccounts for the strength of Bleas sim. So, let's delve into that matter more deeply. Once upon a time I had an alter cation with a fellow who got furious !y angry with be because he forced ne to tell him that he had said that which was not so. He indignantly 3xclaimed, "I'll have you to under stand, sir, that I am a gentleman." 'hat gave me his measure and, with out rising or taking the trouble to et in a position to facilitate rising, l smiled sweetly at him and remark )d: "I have lived in this world 43 years andl I have never yet felt it necessary at any time to inform any body that I was a gentleman." Ile fairly foamed at the mouth, but I had no further trouble with him. Pedigree is more erratic in human ity than in animals. A horse or dog is more apt to breed true to ances try than a man. Some of the mosi 2ontemptible specimens of the genus homo, masculine persuasion, I have aver known could boast and did boast of aristocratic ancestry. And then I have known men who in every linea :nent and action showed they were 01 'gentle birth and high breeding," but vho never said so. For such aristo :rats I have the highest respect, not because of what they are. I car not find words with which to express .ny contempt for the man who, a lit tle less than nothing in himself, ye feels himself better than' others no of equal lineage because of what his forebears were. My own creed is very simple. It is fully expressed in the old saw, "Enc tub sits on its own aottom," an( .leathlessly set forth in Burns' psalm of democracy, "A man's a mar for a' that." I value a man for wha he is and not what he has, of either worldly possessions or ancestry. Sev eral years ago there was a powerfu story in the Satnrday Evening Post Its central character, David Grie won the fortune of a young chat whose head had been swelled by com ing into that fortune. He agreed tc rive the fortune back if the young fellow would serve as his factor on 'onely South Sea island for a year, as island where only one vessel touche< and that only once a year. A furthe: condition was that each morning am vensing (luring that year he shouk( rep~eat certain sentences Grief wrote out for him. I only remember om of those sentences, but it is a sen tence that every man could prouit ba :nenmorizing. It was: "Every man is Is goodl as any other man, excep~ when he thinks hinmself better." One of the most eruly diemocrati< men'f I have ever known was an ita. ian nobleman; the biggest snob wva: a. young scion of an old South Caro hina .n my that had run to seedl by the time it got to him. ie did noth img. [He thought he conferred a fa v'or upon the daughter of an immi grant, who by thrift and induistry hat accumulated a fortune, when he mar ried her andl permittedl her to sup~porl him in the idleness lhe thought gen teel. Thiey tell a story of an impecun ious young fellowv in Charleston wh< married a rich girl. When, in th< martiage ceremony, he repeated th( words, "with all my worldlyv goods] thee endow," hi father whispered t< an old1 crony wa h whonm he was sit ting "Trhere goes my son's bicycle.' That was about the case with th< snob of whom I am writing. .In these chapters I have tried to b< perfectly frank and have showvn my self no more tendierness 'han I hav< others. Liqu~or dtrinking has no mort bitter foe than I. That was not al ways the case. I quit dIrinking s number of years a gob beause of what I had seen liquor do0 to' other men It ruined andl finally took the life ol one whom I regardied as the ablest newspaper man South Carolina has prodluced (luring my time. That is ust one of many eases of wvhichl havt personnal knowledge. I must have hsad an iron head and a copper-lined stomach, for It never seemed to both sr me. Politics makes strange bedfellows -and so dloes drInking. I was in D~harleston on a visit many years ago, A hard-drinking friend, who loved tc forgather with anybody of a similar bankage, welcomed nme as if I were a long lost brother. Before noon he too me to an exclusive club and we lid not leave there until near the leaving time of my train the next rnorning. -We had dinner and supper at the club. My friend was one of its most .popular members. He was ixeeptionally good company, a man with an endless supply of anecdotes and jokes and a mnaster hand at the tellng ofthem. I have riever been regarded as a skeleton at a talk feast. Chiristmas SIBE STATIONERY. A Gift That Is Appreciated And what is more useful than a box of fine Stationery?
